Hi, I'm Leanne Arthur-Simmans. I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has experience working with client’s who struggle with a wide variety of mental health disorders. Many of my clients have benefited from the development of new healthy coping skills as it relates to self-esteem, anxiety, and trauma. I use a strengths based, client focused, treatment approach to not only address symptoms, but the underlying root causes that contribute to difficulties leading a happy and fulfilling life. I am truly passionate about helping you achieve your goals through our individual therapy sessions!
During the first session I will get to know you and what you envision for your journey with me. Your goals and main issue of concern will also be discussed to better assist in a positive outcome through out our sessions together.
I believe my biggest strength is meeting my clien'ts where they are at with an understanding, non-judgemental appraoch. I feel that through this alliance, my client's are able to be their authentic selves and accept and recieve motivation from me as their clinician.
Clients who struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem, and trauma and have the desire to live a more fulfilling life.
In sessions, I will utilize CBT to help client Identify troubling situation(s) or conditions in their life. Through this, the client will become aware of their thoughts, emotions and beliefs about these problems. Together, we will work on Identifying negative or inaccurate thinking and reshape said negative or inaccurate thinking.
